Psychotherapy
Our emotions and our behaviours have, to some degree, a messy life of their own, in the gaps, the spaces, between oneself and others.”- Mitchell, 2000, Relationality: From Attachment to Intersubjectivity |
Psychotherapy can help in allowing you the space to explore issues and begin to make sense of emotional and mental distress.
Work can be short term or can stretch into a much longer ongoing period. It offers support during times of crisis, but psychotherapy is also useful for those who need help for what is less easy to define or grasp; for people who aren’t quite sure how to voice what is happening but would like to talk it through with someone.
My approach is broadly relational which means that I am interested in a person’s way of relating to others as a way to understanding themselves. The interpersonal dynamic that takes place between myself and a client can be used to inform and deepen the work, and creates a space where such relational dynamics, though sometimes provoking, can be worked through, understood and integrated.
